I may not understand a lot about alchemy, but Erickson and Jung's quotes rang very close to home for me. I see that a lot of the good in the world is not by ignorant design, it's more often than not that those who are the most kind learned to be there by going without, or even the person who remains patient and calm used to be the one who spoke out of turn.

I like to say that "the road to heaven, is paved through hell"; for I believe it to be a fine line between ignorance and fully-knowledgable to persist on any path that many other men would fear.

Like the body, and universe itself, there are many hidden connections that through understanding a level of mastery can be achieved. Thank you for the intense imagery—much appreciated! :D
